More probable that either I, or my source, was confusing gas with oil tankers.

I think that there is the odd LNG cargo which changes hands in transit, but it's probably pretty unusual.  

Transactions in oil cargoes are much more common, but a couple of times would probably be the most, since the logistics of taking over the charter and diverting a tanker in transit are pretty horrendous.

A tanker operating as floating storage for a cargo is a different matter, but even so, multiple sales would be pretty rare.
